UPDATE! Adam Levine of Maroon 5 puts his $18.9 million estate in Los Angeles up for sale after just THREE MONTHS!
The singer and his wife Behati Prinsloo are moving like Jagger out of the LA pad they bought in August!
Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and his model wife Behati Prinsloo splashed out $18 million on this stunning mansion earlier this year. But after just three months, it seems they have already grown tired of the place, according to property website Trulia. The plush pad, located in the affluent Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles, is going back on the market. And for $900,000 more than the new parents paid for it.
It's clearly not a forever home for Adam and Behati, but it's difficult to see why!

The impressive home sits on 1.2 acres of land right next to Los Angeles Country Club. The grounds include an outdoor swimming pool, a cabana and a three-car garage.
The sprawling estate is tucked behind wrought iron gates and approached by a long driveway, which promised the 'She Will Be Loved' singer peace and privacy from the outside world. Maybe that stunning pool wasn't child-proof enough for their two-month old daughter, Dusty Rose Levine?
Built in 1966 and designed by renowned architect Casper Ehmcke, the French Regency-style home embraces the indoor-outdoor aesthetic of Southern California.

Inside, the beautiful five-bedroom, 9,200 sq ft mansion is opulently decorated. The foyer is a dramatic introduction to the property, with its black-and-white chequered marble flooring and an impressive crystal chandelier. Classic neutral colours have been used throughout the abode, creating an old-school Hollywood look.
High-ceilinged and spacious, many of the rooms feature floor-to-ceiling glass doors. These let the balmy California sunshine flood the house and give easy access to the pool and garden.
Outside, the gardens are expansive and a paradise of tropical greenery. The pool is surrounded by decking and patio – the ideal haven for relaxing and entertaining guests on a Sunday Morning. Speaking of guests, the estate also boasts a separate two-storey guest house, perfect for when celebrity friends come over. We wonder if Adam's fellow judges from The Voice such as Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys and Pharrell Williams ever paid a visit.

Adam once sung that he was 'Never Gonna Leave This Bed', but it turns out he was wrong and it's doubtful he'll even be spending 'One More Night' at this place. Can you see why?
